Key Benefits
What Is an 8x32 HDMI Matrix Switch?
An 8x32 HDMI matrix switch routes any of 8 HDMI input sources to any of 32 HDMI output displays. Unlike a simple HDMI splitter, a matrix switch gives you flexible routing control, so different displays can show different sources at the same time.
For example, a sports bar can send one cable box to several TVs, a media player to a video wall, and another source to a private event area. A conference center can route laptops, digital signage players and presentation sources to different rooms or displays from one centralized system.
Main Features
- Routes 8 HDMI sources to 32 HDMI displays in any combination.
- Supports full 4K60 HDMI video performance.
- Backward compatible with 1080p Full HD and 4K30 HDMI devices.

Separate Embedded Audio In and De-embedded Audio Out: The matrix allows video to be displayed while audio is routed separately from another audio source. It supports embedding audio on the input card's 3.5mm audio connector and de-embedding audio on the output card's 3.5mm audio connector.
Why Choose This WolfPack 4K60 8x32 HDMI Matrix Switch?
The heart of the 4K60 modular HDMI matrix router is the WolfPack chassis backplane, which allows the system to be customized with input and output cards to match the needs of commercial AV installations. With 4K60 4-port slide-in cards, the system is designed for serviceability because individual cards can be replaced without sending the complete matrix in for repair.

Ideal Applications
HDTV Supply has successfully installed WolfPack, WolfPackLite and other HDMI matrix switchers in many commercial and residential AV environments requiring HDMI matrix switching.
These modular HDMI matrix switchers can usually be integrated with many third-party control systems using the RS-232 port on the back of the matrix.
Third-Party Control System Driver Information
For experienced AV hardware and software professionals who want to write their own drivers, the RS-232 command structure can be used with many control environments, including AMX, Control4, Crestron, RTI, Elan, Savant, URC and other professional AV control platforms.
Example: To switch input 8 to outputs 1, 8 and 16, the RS-232 command would be 8x1&8&16. The command includes a period at the end of the string. The matrix replies OK when the correct command is received and ERR when an incorrect command is received. See the RS232 User Manual for driver-writing information.
Caveat: HDTV Supply is not certified by all third-party control system companies and may not have the necessary hardware to verify, troubleshoot or support third-party code written by others. HDTV Supply does warranty that the RS-232 script in the RS-232 User Manual works to control the matrix directly.
